There is no topic that produces more questions than death payments to IRA beneficiaries – whether it’s a spouse, individual nonspouse, revocable trust, irrevocable trust, entity or no beneficiary named. Then you have to throw in the factors of multiple beneficiaries, how old the owner is at death, who died before who, disclaimers…. It’s enough to make you crazy. In this two hour webinar, we will focus on the answers to these questions in a nice, detailed format with examples and handouts to help facilitate your beneficiary payouts when an IRA owner dies.

What You Will Learn

What documents are we required to obtain when an IRA owner dies?

Whose responsibility is it to notify the beneficiaries?

What are the NINE biggest mistakes we make on beneficiary payouts – including reporting pitfalls?

What payout options do beneficiaries have and what are the determining factors for each option?

Who do we pay out to when a trust or estate is named as beneficiary on an IRA?

What happens when a beneficiary wants to move their IRA from one institution to another?

As you can see, because this is such a complicated topic, it is necessary to break all this down in its own webinar.
